THE sleepless nights for Casey’s Year 12 students have hopefully come to an end today.
Students throughout the municipality woke up Monday morning to check their VCE results, which were finally released following months of studying and exams for kids across the state.
The honour of dux for Kambrya College, in Berwick, was given to Tanya Abraham who recorded an ATAR of 94.55.
“Looking at my scores for the first time was a nerve-wrecking experience,” Tanya said.
“There were so many emotions.”
Meanwhile, the school’s VCAL Dux was Luke Azzopardi.
“At the start of the year, I had decided that I would accomplish a high standard and strive for the dux award for 2015,” Luke said.
“With a lot of dedication and time, I have achieved this outcome.”
Across the way, 17-year-old Atifa Asghari achieved the highest score for her school – Narre Warren South P-12 College – with an ATAR of 93.45.
Atifa was too nervous to check the results herself and got her older sister to take a look first.
“I didn’t look at it immediately, I got my older sister to check my results,” she said.
“I remember last year when I did psychology my score was there and it felt too quick to me.
“The plan was get my sister to tell me what it was in case I went badly.
“I just waited a little longer and eventually she spilled!”
With her impressive score, Atifa now hopes it will be enough to get into Melbourne University to study science.
